Nuclear Facilities (Safety)

HC Deb 07 January 2003 vol 397 cc143-4W

Patrick Mercer

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what advice he has given to civil nuclear facilities regarding security. [88396]

Mr. Wilson

Advice on security measures at civil nuclear facilities is provided by the DTI's Office for Civil Nuclear Security (OCNS). The Director of Civil Nuclear Security, the nuclear security regulator, published his first annual report this year outlining his activities, copies of which are available in the Libraries of the House.

It is not Government policy to disclose details of security issues concerning nuclear facilities as this information could be of use to potential terrorists.
